Operations Planning • Step 1 – Final Policy Guidelines
– Vehicle type • 60’ articulated vehicle with 60 seats • Diesel-Electric Hybrid
– Acceptable maximum passenger load • 60 seated/30 standing passengers per vehicle (industry standard)
– Services utilizing transitway • Only CCT branded vehicles
– Two route patterns – CCT Direct and CCT via USG
– No proposed changes to RideOn, WMATA, or local shuttle Networks • Ongoing coordination with agencies
– Elements impacting CCT operations • Fare collection approach • Transit Signal Priority • Vehicle configuration

Operations Planning (cont.)
• Step 2 – Calculate required # of buses per hour
– Ridership forecast - determine maximum passenger load location and hour
• AM Peak
• Mid-Day
– Maximum load will dictate the required number of buses per hour

![Page 34: CORRIDOR CITIES TRANSITWAY...System-wide Architecture 16 Goal: Create a system-wide architectural scheme for stations that symbolizes the premium BRT project that the CCT is by creating](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053005/5f08fcb87e708231d424b019/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Operations Planning (cont.)
• Step 2 – cont.
– Maximum Load – 893
• Northbound between East Gaither and West Gaither
– Required # of Bus Arrivals
• 893/90 passengers (allowable load) = 9.92 = 10 buses on CCT Direct required per hour to meet demand – Frequency = 60/10 = a bus every 6 minutes
